As of 2024, a representative strong-executive democracy with a large authoritarian leaning and an unhealthy obsession with oligarch-worship.

In 2028, who knows. The current president told his supporters that in four years, they won't need to vote anymore, whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean.

A Democratic Republic
Not since a year or two after Citizens United.

Also, in case you didn't notice, the world's richest man just about bought the presidential election by spending over a quarter billion dollars.
